When an aluminum (Al) -based material and a tungsten (W) material are embedded in a contact hole facing a silicon (Si) substrate, a titanium (Ti) film is previously formed on at least the bottom surface and side wall surface of the contact hole. It is generally done.
【0003】このTi膜は、上記コンタクト・ホール内

れる。This Ti film functions as a barrier metal for preventing an alloying reaction between Al and Si when the Al-based material is embedded in the contact hole, and the W-based material is contained in the contact hole. When the material is embedded, it functions as an adhesion layer. However, T
Although the i film is an excellent material from the viewpoint of achieving low resistance ohmic contact, it cannot sufficiently fulfill the function as a barrier metal or an adhesion layer by itself.
Usually, it is used in a state where a TiN film is laminated on the Ti film.

While the aspect ratio of the contact hole is increasing, in order to form the Ti film in a fine contact hole having a diameter of 0.25 μm and an aspect ratio of 4 with good coverage, a collimation film in which the vertical component of sputtered particles is strengthened is used. It is essential to apply the Tid Sputter method.

ものである。However, even by the collimated sputtering method, it is difficult to form a Ti film having a required film thickness on the bottom surface of a contact hole having an aspect ratio of more than 5. For this reason, recently, the application of the CVD method excellent in coverage has begun to be considered,
By reducing a halide gas typified by TiCl 4 with hydrogen (H 2 ) gas or silane (SiH 4 ) gas, Ti or titanium silicide (TiSi
x ) is promising. In order to form a Ti film by using, for example, TiCl 4 gas and H 2 gas, H 2 is converted into H 2 according to the following reaction formula (1) TiCl 4 + 2H 2 → Ti + 4HCl (1) It utilizes the reduction reaction of TiCl 4 .

膜106となっている。However, CVD using TiCl 4 gas and H 2 gas is performed on a wafer in which a contact hole 103 is actually opened in the interlayer insulating film 102 on the Si substrate 101. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, there is a problem that the Si substrate 101 is etched to form an eroded portion 104. The deposited Ti film 105 is formed on the Si substrate 101 by TiSi 2
It is the film 106.

されるはずのTiCl4 が、下記の反応式(2) TiCl4 + Si → Ti + SiCl4 ・・・(2) のごとく、Siによって還元されてしまっているからで
ある。The reason why the Si substrate 101 is etched is
Originally, TiCl 4 which should be reduced by H 2 as in the above-mentioned reaction formula (1) is converted into Si by the following reaction formula (2) TiCl 4 + Si → Ti + SiCl 4 (2) Because it has been reduced.
【0008】H−Cl間の結合エネルギーは431kJ
/モル、Si−Cl間の結合エネルギーは322kJ/

1がエッチングされてしまうのは、TiCl4 ガスのH

101への吸着確率の方が高いためであると考えられ
る。The binding energy between H and Cl is 431 kJ.
/ Mol, the binding energy between Si and Cl is 322 kJ /
Although the molar ratio is higher and H 2 has a stronger ability to reduce TiCl 4 than Si, as described above, Si substrate 10
1 is etched because H of TiCl 4 gas
This is probably because the adsorption probability of TiCl 4 gas on the Si substrate 101 is higher than the adsorption probability of 2 gas.

き起こされる。In particular, when the natural oxide film remains unevenly on the Si substrate 101, the reaction between Si and TiCl 4 proceeds unevenly through the thin portion of the natural oxide film. . In addition, S in the contact hole 103
Since the impurities are diffused in the i-substrate 101, etching due to the above-mentioned reaction occurs violently, which causes problems such as an increase in contact resistance and an increase in leak current.

が生じる。Incidentally, not only when the Ti film is formed, but also when the high melting point metal film such as the W film or the Mo film is formed, the problem that the Si substrate 101 is similarly etched occurs. Further, the same problem occurs not only on the Si substrate 101 but also when these refractory metal films are formed on the Al-based material layer.

The surface of the base is nitrided, and then a refractory metal thin film is formed on the base by a plasma CVD method using a mixed gas containing a refractory metal halide and H 2 . In this case, it is not necessary to change the mixing ratio of the refractory metal halide to H 2 during the film formation.

That is, a contact hole facing the Si substrate is opened in the interlayer insulating film on the substrate, and it can be applied when the refractory metal film is formed as a part of the barrier metal on at least the bottom of the contact hole. In this case, the refractory metal thin film formed on the Si substrate can be silicidized at the interface with the Si substrate to achieve low resistance ohmic contact.

Note that the present invention can be similarly applied to a substrate in which the W-based material is exposed.

金属薄膜は純度にも優れたものとなる。When performing the plasma CVD method using the mixed gas containing the refractory metal halide and H 2 according to the present invention, the mixing ratio of the refractory metal halide to H 2 is set at the initial stage of film formation. If it is made relatively small, the probability of adsorption of the refractory metal halide on the Si substrate or the Al-based wiring layer can be reduced. Thereby, the reduction of the refractory metal halide by the Si substrate or the Al-based wiring layer can be prevented, and the refractory metal thin film can be formed without damaging the substrate. The refractory metal thin film thus formed has excellent purity.

たものとなる。Then, after the refractory metal thin film is formed to some extent in this way and the mixing ratio of the refractory metal halide in the mixed gas is increased, the refractory metal halide is converted into a Si substrate or an Al-based one. Since it does not contact the wiring layer, the refractory metal thin film can be formed without reduction by Si or Al. The high melting point metal thin film formed in a state where the mixing ratio of the high melting point metal halide is high has excellent smoothness.

抗を下げることができる。If the native oxide film on the surface of the substrate is removed in advance, the refractory metal thin film can be uniformly deposited on the substrate with good coverage, and low resistance ohmic contact is achieved. be able to. In particular, when a refractory metal thin film is formed on the Si substrate with the natural oxide film removed, the refractory metal reacts with Si to form a refractory metal silicide film uniformly. Therefore, the contact resistance of the upper layer wiring formed on the high melting point metal thin film can be reduced.

Reaction with Al and Al-based wiring layers is prevented, and Si
The refractory metal thin film can be formed without damaging the substrate or the Al-based wiring layer. This is because the bond energy between Si-N or Al-N is larger than the bond energy between Si and halogen or Al and halogen, so that the nitridation of Si or Al formed on the surface of the Si substrate or the Al-based wiring layer is performed. This is because the film is not etched when the refractory metal thin film is formed.

An interlayer insulating film 2 made of silicon oxide is laminated thereon with a thickness of 1 μm, and the interlayer insulating film 2 has a diameter of 0.2 μm.
A wafer having contact holes 3 with an aspect ratio of 5 was prepared. Then, this wafer is washed with diluted hydrofluoric acid to remove most of the native oxide film 4 on the Si substrate 1 exposed in the contact holes 3 and further remove the remaining native oxide film 4. Therefore, plasma treatment under the following conditions was performed in the chamber of a magnetic field microwave plasma (ECR plasma) CVD apparatus.

Microwave power 2.8 kW As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, the first Ti film 5 was formed over the entire surface of the wafer without etching the surface of the Si substrate 1. Since the reaction between Ti and Si occurs immediately on the Si substrate 1, the TiSi 2 film 6 was formed.

This is because the reaction between iCl 4 and Si was suppressed and the reaction between TiCl 4 and H 2 as in the reaction formula (1) was promoted. The first Ti film 5 thus formed had a high purity. When the TiCl 4 mixture ratio is set to be relatively large as shown in the film forming condition (B), the TiSi 2 film 6 is already formed on the Si substrate 1. The reaction represented by the reaction formula (1) proceeded further without being eroded. Since the second Ti film 7 thus formed had excellent smoothness, the TiN film formed on the second Ti film 7 had excellent smoothness.
The smoothness of the film 8 was also improved, and as a result, the adhesion of the upper wiring layer was improved.

In order to remove the above, plasma treatment was performed in the chamber of the ECR plasma CVD apparatus under the same conditions as in Example 1 except that the flow rate of H 2 gas was changed to 30 sccm.
In this plasma treatment, the natural oxide film 14 was removed mainly by the sputtering action of Ar + .
